The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 193 My eyes are going blind

In the 60s, electricity was not common in rural areas, and every household used oil lamps to provide light.When using an oil lamp, you naturally have to buy oil and consume oil.To use a saying from villagers: What you burn when you light an oil lamp at night is not light, but money!Therefore, people don't like to stay up late and always go to bed early. If you can save a little gas money, it means a little gas money.

But recently, Haiwen, the oldest child in the family, is almost obsessed with writing.Now, he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to writing.Except for accompanying his sister-in-law to study in the evening, during meals, and when his family asked him to do some work, he spent the rest of the time concentrating on writing.

What Cheng Haiwen did, Cheng's mother saw in her eyes and felt pain in her heart.

On this day, all the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Cheng's family were sitting in the house picking beans. Cheng's mother said she wanted to pickle some beans and pickles. The eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law were both there. The second daughter-in-law, who was sick, had no choice but to sit here and pick beans together.

Cheng's mother has been worried about Cheng Laowu these days, and she always feels that he seems to be a little crazy.It is called locking oneself up to write, but Cheng's mother is worried that Cheng Haiwen will not be able to get over the sadness of being rejected by a girl.

Bai Meixi could see that her mother was full of sorrow, so she asked with concern: "Mom, why have you been sighing recently? Is there something on your mind?"

Cheng's mother raised her head, looked at Bai Meixi and took a deep breath.Of the three daughters-in-law, this one is the most attentive, considerate, and knows how to care about her.

Cheng's mother put down the beans in her hand and spoke leisurely, "I see that Lao Wu always locks himself up recently. Ask him what he is doing? He always excuses me and says he is writing. Who do you think he is? Do you know what he is writing about? I am so nervous! I am always worried that something will go wrong with him."

Bai Meixi smiled slightly. It turned out that Cheng's mother was worried about this problem. Apart from anything else, she knew Cheng Haiwen's recent state. Although he was indeed obsessed with writing, he did have a good attitude recently and was single-minded. I focus on writing and don’t have any extra thoughts to think about other things.

"Nothing will go wrong." Bai Meixi comforted.

"But I always feel that he didn't think about what happened last time. This kid! He doesn't like to talk much. He just keeps it to himself when he has something to do. I'm really afraid that if he keeps it like this for a long time, it won't be good for him. When the time comes and there is another mental problem, what can we do?"

Cheng's mother did have her own worries, fearing that Cheng Haiwen would never be able to get out of the shadow of broken love.People in this era are too persistent. As Bai Meixi often said, love lasts a lifetime.

The second sister-in-law was sitting aside. Listening to her mother-in-law's worries about Cheng Haiwen, she felt uncomfortable for a long time. She couldn't help but muttered: "The fifth child is not a child anymore. He is such a big man. What can go wrong? Mom. , you are so old, so don’t worry about it.”

Cheng's mother's face became embarrassed for a moment, and the second daughter-in-law never said a word to please her.She rolled her eyes and said to her second daughter-in-law, "That's my son. I don't worry about the flesh that fell off my body, so do you?"

The second sister-in-law felt very uncomfortable after hearing what her mother-in-law said.Knowing that what she said might make her mother feel uncomfortable again.Anyway, she doesn't care anymore. From the day she got married and started a family, this mother-in-law didn't seem to give her a good look.In this case, she has nothing to care about. If she doesn't give you good face, don't give her good face!She would not lick her face to please her mother-in-law. Her dignity would not allow Bai Meixi to please her mother-in-law in such a condescending manner.

The second sister-in-law sneered and said: "Lao Wu is fine and lively. I think he is in better shape than he was before this happened. So! You don't have to worry about whether something will happen to him. Seriously, you What should be worried about is that Lao Wu stays up so late every night, so what is he burning with the oil lamp every night when he writes? It is oil! Burning oil means burning money! This is really a waste. "

Bai Meixi looked at the second sister-in-law and listened to every word she said. She never understood the second sister-in-law's brain circuit. Why was she worried about wasting gas money at this moment?

When the mother-in-law heard what her second sister-in-law said, she was naturally very unhappy, but as an elder, she couldn't let the conflict reappear in the family, so she didn't say anything, but she had a long expression on her face.

The sister-in-law has an upright temperament. She looked at Cheng's mother and said with a smile: "Mom, don't worry! I think Xiaomei can endure it! Since I brought Lao Wu back from the edge of the cliff last time, I think Lao Wu's mentality is much better. Yes. Doing something to distract his attention is always better than letting him stay in his room all day long thinking about all the bad things."

Cheng's mother sighed, the eldest daughter-in-law finally said something that made people feel comfortable.

Bai Meixi felt a little sad. To be honest, it was a good thing that Cheng Haiwen devoted himself to creation.However, she knew that in the current environment, there was no electricity and she could only write under a kerosene lamp.Moreover, Cheng Haiwen stayed up until midnight every time. The light of the kerosene lamp was too dim. Over time, Cheng Haiwen's eyes were probably damaged.

Bai Meixi said to her sister-in-law: "To be honest, I don't know whether such a proposal is good or bad for Lao Wu. I didn't expect him to be so attentive and spend all day and night in his room writing. You said It's okay during the day, it's always brighter. But at night, the kerosene lamp light is too dim, and Lao Wu always writes until midnight. I'm afraid that if this goes on for a long time, his eyes won't be able to bear it."

Chengmu felt more comfortable at the moment.Among the three daughters-in-law, Bai Meixi is the most sensible and considerate one.The point she cares about is always the right point that makes people feel warm.

Before the adult mother could speak, the second sister-in-law spoke again and said, "Isn't this the same as what I mean? If your eyes are broken, you have to spend money for treatment!"

Cheng's mother was furious, why was this second daughter-in-law talking so unpleasantly?How could Bai Meixi's meaning be the same as hers?Just a joke.

Bai Meixi ignored her second sister-in-law and said to her adult mother, "Mom, we can't let the fifth child go on like this, otherwise he will really go blind."

Cheng's mother didn't want to pay attention to her second sister-in-law, so she turned to look at Bai Meixi and said with a sad face: "What should we do? I have persuaded everything that needs to be persuaded and said everything that needs to be said. But don't look at it. Lao Wu is a quiet kid with a stubborn temper! No one can persuade him to change the things he decides. To be honest, since he was a child, I have never seen him take anything so seriously! "

Bai Meixi took a breath and realized that this matter was a bit tricky.Don’t just come out of the shadow of a broken relationship, and your eyes are hurt by the dim light of the night. Isn’t that just a loss that outweighs the gain?
